Frisco middle infielders Jose Vallejo and Elvis Andrus flashed their power on Wednesday while Spokane hurler Carlos Pimentel hurled five shutout innings. Lone Star Dugout takes a look at all of the day's minor league action.

Starting pitcher Derek Holland retired the side in order in the first, second, and third innings. Things fell apart for the lefty in the fourth, when he surrendered four runs on five hits. Holland went on to throw a scoreless fifth inning before being replaced by Dan Sattler.

First baseman Chad Tracy (.286/.362/.474) had a big night, going 4-for-5 with a double and two home runs.

Ben Henry (4.44 ERA/.275 BAA) surrendered three runs – two earned – in three innings pitched. He walked four and struck out four. In 24.1 innings this season, the tall right-hander has walked 20 and struck out 28.

Seventh round pick Matt Thompson struggled in his professional debut, allowing four runs on five hits in two-thirds of an inning. He struck out one.

Left fielder Adam Cobb filled up the box score by going 2-for-3 with a triple, a walk, and his 10th stolen base of the season.

First baseman Clark Murphy (.370/.414/.444) went 2-for-5 with a double.
